This paper proposes a new practical model for project portfolio selection focusing on two issues; the first issue relates to managing uncertainty provoked by hesitant situations and the second issue relates to the interaction effect of projects on final value of portfolio. Based on the above issues, the hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging (HFWA) operator is applied to aggregate the hesitant fuzzy...

The notion of a rough set was originally proposed by Pawlak [Z. Pawlak, Rough sets, International Journal of Computer and Information Sciences 11 (5) (1982) 341–356]. Later on, Dubois and Prade [D. Dubois, H. Prade, Rough fuzzy sets and fuzzy rough sets, International Journal of General System 17 (2–3) (1990) 191–209] introduced rough fuzzy sets and fuzzy rough sets as a generalization of rough...

In this paper, the universal approximation property of one of the most frequently used type of fuzzy systems is proved. The type of fuzzy system in the present work employs triangle-shaped fuzzy membership functions (TSMF) for its input variables. The proof of the universal approximation property does not use the Stone-Weierstrass theorem because the TSMFs are not closed for the product; instea...

Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA) was introduced as a generalization of the rough set approach for reasoning about preferences. While data describing preferences are ordinal by the nature of decision problems they concern, the ordering of data is also important in many other problems of data analysis. Even when the ordering seems irrelevant, the presence or the absence of a property (po...

Certain scholars have generalized the theory of fuzzy set, but picture hesitant set (PHFS) has received massive attention from distinguished scholars. PHFS is combination (PFS) and (HFS) to cope with awkward complicated information in real-life issues. The well-known characteristic that sum maximum membership, abstinence, non-membership degree limited unit interval. This manuscript aims develop...
